Thanks Ken. Small job in comparison to most of what I read, but feels good to work my way through something, with lots of direction I might add. And I have learned a lot about the electrical in this coach. Not a speck of what many of you have to offer, but still. Feels good. Every time I manage to accomplish something with the old girl, I am less hesitant to take on something else. While I have half the dash apart, I might take a look at the instrument cluster lights. Fuse is good - After market radio? (read something about confusing the grey wire for the instrument lights with a ground wire) or maybe the headlight switch has a bad rheostat.

Tomorrow I will pull the blower and take a look in there. I wouldn't doubt it could use a good cleaning out. The 'hamster wheel' often gets clogged, from what I have heard?

I suppose that it could just be coincidence that the relay crapped out while I was working on the ac a/c recharging (which is still a work in progress, and what started this entire thread). Or maybe the blower is old, tired and dirty. Brushes? Or who knows what? But I would like to see if i can find a reason. Second time the motor has quit due to a burned-out something this summer. Looking forward to seeing what's 'behind the curtain' so to speak.

I think that link I found was Emery talking to Bob (have to go back & check) But I think just cut, splice and there really won't be anything to protect in the left overs.

I think there's no doubt the relay is hooped... (stinks too - that's the source of the melted plastic/over-heated wiring smell!)

Since it's gone to a better place, I might just take it apart.
